crew came down from the distant boat house
after Il five o'clock breakfast with no clothing
beside their jerseys, and were kept waiting
with nothing to eat or drink until noon. which
of course left them in Il very poor condition
for Il hard race. Besides this, their bow oar

in 1879. He then entered the Yale Medical

rNcl"ped the new system of physical training
Whic'! has made 50 complete revolution in all

system WAS in vogue. Men We're trained in

men We're required to adjust themselves to its
necessities. with the result that while some
wor,. developed to an abnormal degree, others
failed to hc benefited. and still others We're
severely injured by ovcr-cXert;on. DIR. Sar-
gent conceived and carried out the idea of
indiNisilta'iein i'll physical culture. He examined
he inhi>i i,iIial man to see wherein he was phy>-
rally deficient. and arranged the apparatus and
exercise with the purpose of developing that

developing his already remarkable ability in
this direction. He had AT this time no thought
of his future career. His own plan and that
of his friends was to complete his education in
preparation for quite another profession. In
1863 he was invited to take the position at
Bow'loin College of teacher of gymnastics,
and accepted the offer with the simple purpose
of thus earning money to proceed with his
studies. While Ii!ling this position he prelar-
ed for college under a private tutor ami en-
tered the freshman class in 1871. In the
meantime, perceiving that the only hope of III
teresting the faculty and the public in physical
culture was to give exhibitions in gymnastics.
he devoted much time and effort to developing
the highest sort of skill among the students.
His resulting exhibitions were of great inter-
est to all friends of the college. He also gave
several exhibitions in Portland which attracted
much attention.
In 1871. following up the interest which his
work had aroused, gymnastics were adopted
as a part of the required work in Bowdoin
College, and Mr.. Sargent. !: freshman only
twenty-five years old, was placed in charge Of
the department. 1t was difficult place for Il
Young man, hut he was able not only to fill it
creditably, but to awaken enthusiasm among
both students and faculty which raised the
standard of physical development at Bowdoin
to very high point. 1t was while here that
he brought out the system of chest-weights
which have since become so well known all
over the country. These and other improved
pieces of apparatus were absolutely essential
to meet the requirements which the lofty replI-
tatiOn of the Bowdoin gymnastic exhibitions
had gained.
In 1872 BOwdoin sent a crew to Springfield
with MIR. Sargent as its captain. 1t was a
